Priska Working on Debut EP

One of our favorite LA-based Taiwanese American musicians, Priska, is finally working on her debut EP. (What? She didn’t have one before?). We introduced Priscilla Liang to our audiences back in 2012 with this personal interview and footage from a performance at the Factory Tea Bar in the heart of San Gabriel Valley:

We’ve been a big fan of her since the beginning. She’s got a beautiful, strong voice and a heart of gold. And, it always seems she’s out there working hard and supporting the broader Asian American community.

In her youth, Priska’s parents encouraged her to pursue music, and she found opportunities to sing in the choir at her Taiwanese church. During her adolescent years, she was bullied in school, but was able to find comfort and escape in music. Over time, she gained a newfound strength through performing her music.

Over the years, it’s clear that her fan following has only grown stronger, more supportive and loyal. Priska just announced her first Kickstarter to fund her debut EP (no, really, she never had one before?), and in ONE DAY, it was fully funded! But, there’s still a month to go, so she’s aiming higher with some stretch goals.

So, who else wants to hear an “emotionally poignant, 5-song album that explores heartache, despair, and carving your own path–by a small girl with a big voice”? We do! Check out her fundraising efforts and follow her on this journey.
